Jilly Goolden on Cork

TV wine personality Jilly Goolden was at Speaker’s Corner in London’s Hyde Park on Thursday morning alongside a pair of giant, 2m high cork sculptures to launch an initiative by the cork industry urging consumers to sign a pledge to support natural cork.

The www.ilovenaturalcork.co.uk campaign focuses on cork’s green credentials and calls on retailers and producers to state clearly whether their wines are sealed by cork stoppers. I caught up with Goolden after the launch to find out why she’s backing the campaign.
